Sewer billing provisions:

As it is generally not practical to meter sewage flows from individual service locations, the following provisions apply for billing sewage volume:

Dedicated fire line, irrigation service and portable meters customers do not have sewer use and accordingly will not be charged for sewer treatment.

Residential sewer use is calculated using the average water consumption for meter readings taken in the months of January, February and March as the estimated sewer volume per month (winter average approach).

New residential service will be assumed to use 8,000 gallons per month until a winter average can be established. If water use for new service is below 8,000 gallons per month for the first three months of service, the customer may request that the average for the first three months of service be used to estimate sewer volume until a winter average is established.

Commercial and industrial customers sewer use will be deemed the same as water consumption unless customer can demonstrate that a significant portion of water consumption is not flowing into the sanitary sewer system and agrees to install a deduct meter.
